Falcon 1991DT 48IN US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the DT dummy trim on the Falcon 1991DT actually do from the outside?
Nothing mechanical. The DT configuration is a dummy function with a 9970 pull on the exterior, so the outside pull is fixed and does not retract the latches. It is non-keyed, meaning there is no cylinder and no way to unlock the door from outside. People push the crossbar to get out, and the pull is there only to grab the door when it is dogged down or unlocked another way.
2) Does a concealed vertical rod device like this need a mullion on a pair of doors?
No. A concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a strike at the door edge, so it secures a pair without a center mullion. That is the usual reason to pick concealed vertical rod on storefront: the rods run inside the stile, nothing shows on the door face, and the opening stays clear. If you would rather latch into a mullion or a frame strike, a rim device is the simpler choice.
3) Can I get the Falcon 1991DT to work with an electric strike, or skip the bottom latch?
Both are order options. Choose ES for a top latch intended for use with electric strikes, or pick the bottom latch style you want: RL for a rod bottom latch or PL for a Pullman bottom latch. Pullman bottom latches are the common pick where a floor strike would collect grit or where the threshold makes a rod latch impractical.
4) I have wood or hollow metal doors, not aluminum storefront. Will this Falcon device work?
It is the wrong choice. The 1991DT is a narrow stile device sized for small stile aluminum doors. For hollow metal, look at the Adams Rite 8500 Series or the Corbin Russwin ED5800, both wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod. For wood doors, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod for wood. Note the Von Duprin 7547 is listed as not wood door compatible.
5) Which concealed vertical rod devices look like a match for the Falcon 1991DT but will not fit a narrow stile aluminum door?
The Falcon 1991DT is specified for narrow stile aluminum doors. Several concealed vertical rod devices with the same Grade 1 rating are wide stile only and will not fit: the Adams Rite 3600, 3900 and 8500, the Corbin Russwin ED5800, the DORMA 9100 and the Sargent 12-MD8613. The BEST Precision 2701 is wide stile reversible for wood doors, and the 2801 is wide stile. Confirm stile type before ordering against a storefront opening.
6) The 1991DT comes with dummy trim. What if I need exterior lever or keyed entry instead?
The Falcon 1991DT is a non-keyed dummy function with a 9970 pull, so the exterior side is pull-only. If the opening needs operating trim, the Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device listed as exit only or accepts trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the ED7800 narrow stile crossbar device accepts operator trim. The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is supplied with lever trim on a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device.
7) The Falcon 1991DT is not fire rated. What concealed vertical rod device can I use on a fire-rated opening?
The Falcon 1991DT is built to ANSI A156.3 Grade 1 for egress on aluminum storefront. For a fire-rated opening, the Adams Rite 3600 and 3900 series are fire-rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices for wide stile hollow metal doors, with the 3900 carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating. Sargent's 12-MD8613 is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device in a classroom function. All three are wide stile, so they will not drop into a narrow stile aluminum door.
8) What is the closest crossbar-style narrow stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the Falcon 1991DT?
The Von Duprin 5547 is a narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a crossbar actuator for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the Falcon 1991DT's crossbar design, narrow stile fit, Grade 1 rating and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Corbin Russwin ED7800 is also a narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device rated Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors. The 5547 is catalogued in a 36 inch width, so confirm door width before substituting for the 48 inch Falcon.
9) I need a concealed vertical rod device with a pushpad instead of a crossbar for an aluminum storefront door. What should I use?
The Falcon 1991DT uses an aluminum cross bar actuator. For a pushpad on narrow stile aluminum, the DORMA 9600BB is a narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device, Grade 1, non-fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, catalogued at 36 inches. The CRL Jackson 1285 is also a push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit and is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile.
10) Do I have to order the Falcon 1991DT handed?
No. The device is non-handed and field reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and you can set the hand during install. That makes it easier to stock a spare for a run of storefront pairs.
11) Can I dog the Falcon 1991DT down for business hours?
Yes. Hex dogging is standard on the device, so you can hold the crossbar depressed and leave the door push-pull during open hours. The dogging hex plus concealed mounting screws is also what makes it hard for someone to defeat or readjust from the push side.
12) What other narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit devices could I use instead of the Falcon 1991DT?
Narrow stile concealed vertical rod alternatives include the Adams Rite 8600 Series for aluminum doors, the Von Duprin 3347A and 5547 crossbar, the Von Duprin 7547, and the Corbin Russwin ED4800. The Von Duprin and Corbin narrow stile devices are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors like the Falcon. The DORMA 9600BB is a narrow stile pushpad version and covers 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors, but it is a 36 inch device. Remember the Falcon is 48 inches, so match the crossbar length to your leaf.
13) If the opening only needs egress with no exterior hardware at all, is there a simpler option than the 1991DT?
Yes. The Falcon 1991DT includes dummy trim with a 9970 pull for exterior pull access. If nothing is needed on the outside, the Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in exit only function, less bottom rod, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST Precision 2601 is an exit only, narrow stile, non-handed concealed vertical rod device, and the CRL Jackson 1085 is a 48 inch non-handed concealed vertical rod panic in exit only function.
14) What finishes does the Falcon 1991DT come in for matching existing storefront?
Four finishes: P28 satin aluminum clear anodized, P13 dark bronze anodized aluminum, P35 flat black coated, and US26D satin chrome. P28 and P13 are the two that typically match clear and bronze anodized aluminum storefront framing.
